Unfortunately current conditions have delayed the completion of these removals.

"Council will continue to monitor the situation and undertake the removal works as conditions improve and while the wreck remains exposed," a council spokesperson said.

"The works on the wreck adhere to the procedures for monitoring and removal of fixed and loose material outlined by council's archaeology consultant in accordance with State Government Department of Environment and Science requirements.

"Lifeguards continue to have signage in place to mitigate any beach user risk associated with the wreck."
